Got this in person at the Superstar Summer Showdown event in Winnipeg. Both Toews and Barker are Winnipeg natives and played on the Chicago Blackhwaks for sometime.
Barker, was picked third in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft and was traded this season to the Minnesota Wild. He is a two time World Junior Gold medalist.
Toews, was picked thrid overall in the 2006 Draft. He istwo time World Junior Gold medal winner, 2010 Olympic Gold Medalist, named best forward of the Olympics with a tying high of 8 points. He also captained the 2010 Stanley Cup Champions, Chicago Blackhawks and won the Conn Smythe Trophy (MVP of the Play-Offs). This was all acomplished before the age of 23.
Superstar Summer Showdown is put on by a charity that sends sick kids to NHL games (their dreams), Beleive in the Goal is a great cause,
